Apple doesn’t want people using the mouse with the cable attached because it would cost them a fortune due to failed charging ports within the warranty period. It’s a wireless mouse. Using it plugged in will fuck it up.
I fix computers and an apple mouse with a bad charge port is just a throwaway.
Mac Mini M1 when it was released was a good deal compared to same form factor machines at similar prices. Same for the M1 MacBook Air, despite the base RAM.
That advantage lasted a while, too, considering battery life and build quality.
I can corroborate that it gets crazy even in courses expecting high literacy. I had the painful experience of teaching a 3rd year course in communication studies that was part of the media production stream. It required writing preproduction documentation and a script. There were a lot of questionable attempts but there’s always a range of interest and skill, right? One student, and let me remind you this is third year at a university, I called into office hours. I’m a fan of poetry, so I just had to be sure that she wasn’t cleverly lampooning Gertrude Stein in some ironic way. Sadly, no, she just had no fucking clue how to write ANYTHING coherent. Amazing.
iMac G4.
The iMac G5 started the fat monitor on a leg design.
I’m the one who is awake by the fire when the sabretooth shows up at midnight. I’m the one going around telling everyone to get outside, the house is on fire. I’m the one who is suddenly at the bottom of the small cliff, still steaming and naked from the hot tub, doing first aid assessment on the partier who fell off. I’m the one who burns for 14 hours and gets the team to push that working build out minutes before going live.
There’s dopamine in there. We’re starved for it daily so we can go hard in some way when it counts.
Did you have one in mind? Or are the words synonymous?
“Land Back” is relevant to North America and Australia etc. because the genocides and expropriations are within living memory and in some cases ongoing.
Respectfully, carbon footprint as a measure is just a measurement and is really useful in the right context. It’s important to remember that it’s the misapplication to individuals that is a con game.
When Rees and Wackernagel came up with ecological footprint as a measure, it introduced a systems analysis to human activity that we really needed. Carbon footprint is just a subset of that and ignoring it is futile. Just apply the analysis where it matters: militaries, mining, transport, energy, civil engineering, etc etc.
Not only did I opt out, verbally by calling OnStar from the car, I then removed the cell antenna (SparkEV), which works well in the rural areas where I live, not sure about a cellular-dense location, they can probably track pings now and then. So, if I get around to it I will look into disconnecting the cell module under the passenger seat.
This is laughable with respect to the far right in BC, who are masquerading as small-c conservatives.
The discourse of outrage that’s promulgated throughout social media is full of unsourced, proven lies. How do we know? Because they get airtime and volume, and are examined and debunked.
In traditional media, the arguments for the unambiguous bullshit that gets aired are clearly founded in emotional, unscientific rhetoric, and mouthpieces for this bullshit are confronted and then immediately dissemble into a related issue backed by equally unsubstantiated emotional bullshit.
Note that I am using the dictionary definition of bullshit here.
Inevitably, when people complain about bullshit that is rather obviously propaganda built for oligarchism but hiding behind populism, some toady pops up to claim that true objectivity should put the opposing viewpoints on equal footing, and those that were educationally deprived of critical thinking skills will applaud.
Various external forms of ratfuckery from Alberta culture leaking into the ripe compost of BC bigotry : KlownKonvoy fans running rallies, the Take Back Alberta crowd running various astroturfing schemes, funding flowing into rural communities for campaigning via Harper-derived organizations, and as one NDP campaigner pointed out, intense “microtargeting” in social media in a divide-and-conquer approach which was successful.
People are unhappy about the economy and are blaming local conditions; combined with anti-Trudeau tribalism it’s all very emotional and truth doesn’t mean anything.
Yes and it would have been funny if any rent was involved.
Edit, oh wait you mean they are SAving 5k a month, whoosh missed that
Other savings built into collective infrastructure:
You are familiar with the concept of #cohousing, right? I don’t think anyone is renting there, all owners. Land values have been fucked in Vancouver since capitalism arrived, and in fact when the group bought the three house lots they needed, they had to deal with one of them being shadow-flipped during the purchase.
Still, pooling resources did make it very possible for the group. The hard-to-swallow expensive part was actually building to passivhaus standards and dealing with bureaucracy, if I understand correctly.
Me too, most of us would be happier and richer living like that.
Verified: group cooking is the way.
I have friends and family who live in a cohousing building. About 50 people in 30 units. Each apartment is complete but the kitchens are slightly smaller than typical.
Cohousing is mutual ownership of the building. About 20% of the building is common areas, like widened hallways with couches and bookshelves, or a games nook, music room, workshop, laundry, etc. It’s basically a tall village, and they are like roommates with privacy.
The giant kitchen and dining room is used six nights a week. One person is chef with a small crew, and dinner is for around 30 people. It costs $5 CDN per meal, though if you raid the leftovers later it’s pay what you want, usually $2. The cooking volunteer roster is optional and organized by a Slack channel. Food is usually awesome and everyone wins.
If you want you hardly ever have to cook dinner for yourself.
Thelma and Louise is the Great American Movie.
Bullshit, I went through their post history and it isn’t zionist. Stop that.
Well that’s piqued my interest so I glanced over your comments. I have to point out that yes, people respond badly to you sometimes, reminding me of reddit.
You should know that you seem unaware that your comments occasionally have a pugnacious or even bellicose tone, not necessarily intentionally mind you, but noticeable. Sometimes dismissive or contemptuous attitudes leak out and hostile replies state they are responding to that. It’s not simple bullying, it’s buttons being pushed.
